Interpretation Centre and learn about the
life-cycle of this very popular fish. Then we
travel to Corner Brook, Newfoundland’s
most westerly city. Corner Brook is
Newfoundland’s second largest city and is

Today we will travel up the Viking Trail
stopping along the way to view the
Arches, a natural phenomenon carved
over many centuries by the sea. We will
visit the National Historic Park at Port Au
Choix and the museum which features the
Maritime Archaic Indian History. The many
interesting artifacts on display make this
an intriguing site. Our journey will take
us along the coastline to overnight in St.
Anthony for the next two nights. (B,L)

Grenfell’s former home as well as the
